A private swap from Ukraine

I've been trading a lot via the official site. In these last days i've received more trades requests; i've checked my email an hour ago and had a request from a boy in Italy.

These cards are from Ukraine and were sent by Kvitka.

This is a snowy view of a garden in Ternopil, one of the major cities in western Ukraine, located on the banks of the Seret River.

St. George's Cathedral is a baroque-rococo cathedral located in the city of Lviv, the historic capital of western Ukraine. It was constructed between 1744-1760 on a hill overlooking the city. This is the third manifestation of a church to inhabit the site since the 13th century, and its prominence has repeatedly made it a target for invaders and vandals. The cathedral also holds a predominant position in Ukrainian religious and cultural terms. - in: wikipedia

This is another card from western Ukraine, Kamianets-Podilskyi.

The card shows the interior of the St. Apostles Peter and Paul Cathedral, built between the 16th-18th centuries.
